To al( iff/0m it may concern:

'Be it known that l'` CHARLES Munitions, a citizen of the IlnitedStates, and resident of Chillicothe, in the county of Ross and State ofOhio, have vinvented certain new and useful Improvements inHeating-Stoves;. and I do hereby declare the following to be 'a full,clear, and exact description of the in`l vention, such as will enableothers skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use thesame. t

My invention relates to an improved heating stove, and more particularlytothat type of stove in which the heating'of a room or a food receptacleis accomplished by heating v a current of air and then directing saidcur- 'in' the provision of a refractory element.

rent of air to the points to be heated.

i It is one of the objects of my invention to provide a stove of theabove-mentioned character in which the fire-box is made of refractory.material to conserve a portion of the heat generated therein.

Another object of my lnvention res1des immediately adjacent and abovethe firebox to conserve a portion of the heat emanating from the latter.y

- A lstill further object of my invention resides in the provision of adetlector above the fire-box and refractory element and in spacedrelation with respect to the walls of the stove, to deflect and diffusethe heat within the interior of the'stove to maintain a more nearlyuniform temperature than' would otherwise be possible.

Still another object of my invention re-.'

y sides in the provision,` onv the top of the stove, of a depressedreceptacle support not in,communication with the interior of the stove,but the walls of which yform a portion of the top of the stove and areheated d1- rectly from the fire-box, and also'heat issupplied directlyto a receptacle placed thereon by a current of air coming from a pipeentering near the bottom of the stove and having its outlet in'saidreceptacle support.

Other objects of my invention than those specifically hereinabove setforth will be a parent from the following Specification in which I willdescribe my`invent1on more 1n detail with particular reference to theform illustrated on the accompanying drawmg, and which is illustrativeof a certain' emlili bodinient thereof, which I have foundin 'practiceto give good results.

In the drawings: The figure represents a central section elevationthrough one form of heating sto\fe constructed according to the presentinvention. In the form shown l designates a cylindrical stove body openat the lower end and beneath which is located a tire-box :l ofrefractory material. testing on thenpper edge of the fire-box 2 andhaving a downwardly directed detiecting flange is the annular member 3to which the stove body 1 is secured in any suitable manner.

Beneath the fire-box :2 an ash-pit'l and upon this ash-pit the fire-box'2 is supported and' retained against displacement by an annular rib 'The top of the'ash-pit 1 is provided with a grate aperture of circulan'formation and in this aperture is mounted a grate 'T which may be .givenlateral oscil-` .of these bricks rest and are retained in place by aring 13 similar to the ring 11. yAt one point in the refractory elementthus formed is located," door opening provided with a door 14' t ughwhich the supply of .fuel to the fire-lr 'nlay be replenished. 4 lementand secured to the stove body 1 internally thereof by lugs 16 and rivets17 and in spaced relation with respect to the interal'walls of the stovebody, is centrally apertured inverted conical shaped delector 18. y

vlThe upper end of the stove body 1 is closed by a head or top 19 inwhich is located a depressed receptacle support. '20, and in this top 19is also located a smoke-pipe or chimney 21. The depressed receptaclesupport does not open into the interior of the stove and is covered atthe top by al perfor-ate closure 22. l

V`In near proximity tothe tire-box and just abm'e the combustionzonerthe stove body 1l is apertured.. An air-plpe 2'2 leading from nearthe floor enters this aperture and`e;\"i-v tends lm'vard'ly and upwardly1n the stm'e i body 1 and through a central aperture in the 15tainjembodiment o fiiny invention,
